Oak Hill Welsh Congregational Church is a historic former church in the village of Oak Hill. It was originally home to a congregation of Welsh immigrant miners, and it has been named a historic site. Welsh miners from Cardiganshire began immigrating to the Hanging Rock region of southern Ohio as early as 1818, working in the blast furnaces and iron mines of the region. Some of them were Congregationalists, and some who established themselves in Jackson County formed a church in 1832. Nine years later, the church moved into Oak Hill, but their church building was not finished until 1869.
